Our integrated annual report 2022 contains information aimed at all our stakeholders with a specific focus on our shareholders. We are committed to providing shareholders with reliable, accurate, balanced and transparent

CONSTRUCTION

MATERIALS

Hard rock and gravel quarries and sand mines

Afrimat owns and operates 30 commercial quarries and sand mines strategically located throughout South Africa.

All quarries are mined and developed with precision while taking into consideration both geology and fluctuating market demand for product types.

Readymix Concrete

Successful implementation of vertical integration is a key contributor to value creation within Afrimat, and nearly

20% of all aggregates produced are consumed internally through either Afrimat-owned readymix concrete operations or precast manufacturing facilities.

Afrimat owns 26 commercial readymix concrete plants in both metropolitan and rural areas.

Contributing to social and economic development, readymix concrete trucks are mostly owned by owner-drivers or sub-contractors.

Clinker

Established in 1989, Clinker Supplies is one of the largest clinker ash processors in South Africa and reclaims approximately 1,5 million tonnes of discarded boiler ash product from power generating facilities into clean sellable

aggregates annually.

When the reclaiming process is complete, the site is rehabilitated as per the approved environmental management plan and recreated or restored to its natural state.

Manufactured concrete products

Afrimat owns 11 precast facilities.

While consuming more than half a million tonnes of Afrimat produced raw materials, these facilities manufacture approximately 250 million concrete bricks, blocks, and pavers annually, and are strategically positioned to provide a cost-effective solution to the affordable housing shortage in South Africa.
